Ghana coach Chris Hughton has handed a late invite to Kingsley Schindler as replacement for Tariq Lamptey in the 25-man squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Lamptey pulled out from the team, having not recovered fully from the knock sustained on March 4 in Brighton's clash against West Ham in the English Premier League.

Schindler, who is yet to feature for the senior national team, is expected to touchdown and join his teammates for preparation towards the encounter with Angola.

The 29-year-old has played 20 matches for FC Köln in the Bundesliga this term predominantly as a right full-back.

Ghana host Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday before the second leg which comes off four days later in Luanda.
